Actor Mike Epps has been accused of reportedly assaulting a woman at a post-premiere party for new film A Haunted House 2. The Hangover star was celebrating the release of the movie at Lucky Strike bowling alley in Los Angeles on Wednesday (16Apr14), when a woman, who claimed to have had a past relationship with the comedian, alleged he punched her in the face after she confronted him.
The unnamed female called the police and filed a report, but Epps maintains he did not strike the woman, according to TMZ.com.
He reportedly claims she was a fan who became belligerent and threw a drink over him and his wife after he asked for privacy. The 43 year old then had her escorted out of the party.
Police are now reportedly investigating the incident and have turned the case over to the domestic violence division because of the alleged victim's claims of a prior relationship.
